Which assessment finding would most likely predict a difficult airway during patient preparation for transport?
Limited temporomandibular joint mobility
Presence of an IV line
Sinus tachycardia
History of hypertension
Limited temporomandibular joint (TMJ) mobility suggests the patient may have difficulty opening their mouth fully, which can make insertion of airway devices challenging. Identifying limited TMJ mobility helps anticipate and prepare for potential difficulties with airway management. While a history of hypertension, presence of an IV line, and sinus tachycardia are important clinical findings, they do not directly indicate difficulty with securing the airway.
